MOC: Small Hogwarts scenes

[tuskel]

Hi!

I know my abilities and, indeed, resources are nowhere near as great as other people here have, but I have fun nonetheless.

As I said in my introduction, I love Harry Potter. I got into Lego HP (game) heavily, and looked up some sets. From the start, I made a conscious decision to only get three sets: 4721, 4722 and 4723: Hogwarts Classrooms, Diagon Alley Shops and Gryffindor Common Room, respectively. They looked fun, with lots of bright colours, and were obviously designed for girls (Hermione on the box!).

It has been a few years, and I have bought an occasional extra minifigure, too. So without further ado, here are some little things I made. For my own amusement.

(I do hope I am not posting way too many photos, feel free to mod if I am,)

Next to the Forbidden Forest, just past the Quiddich pitch, is Hagrid's hut.

Mini pumpkin patch behind the hut.

For some reason, Snape and Madam Hooch are having a romantic dinner in Hagrid's hut (obviously they are NOT afraid of his cooking!), while he has a well-earned rest on his patchwork quilt covered bed.

And I did cheat and use old instructions for the fireplace, because I just thought it was so cool. There was a bit of MOC there as well, because I don't have the exact pieces needed.

Now for some classrooms....

Snape: "And then add Giant Orange Snail slime... Granger, are you listening?!" Hermione: "Whoops! Sorry!"

Transfiguration classroom. Prof. McGonagall "And that is ho you turn butterflies into flowers. But you get beetles, because they are easier to transfigure!"

Malfoy: "Why do I always have to sit next to Potter?! At least I've got a golden wand, 'cause Father's loaded."

Meanwhile in the Astronomy Tower... Fred: "Hey, George, I can see into girls bathrooms!" George: "Me too! Ooh, Angelina!"

Prof. Sinistra: "Are you paying attention, boys? I have just seen Uranus!"

Divination classroom. Prof. Trelawney: "I can see the Gr.."

Ron: "Hey! Mine seems to spell "Die, Ron, Die!""

And if you are not too tired...

In Dumbledore's office... Dumbledore: "And if we cross Caras Caradhras here, we should get to Lothlorien by... Wait a minute! Wrong story!"

Gandalf: "Thank-you!"

Dumbledore: "What the...?"

Madam Pince: "Albus, can I borrow your..." Dumbledore: "Can't a man read his muggle fairy tales in peace in this place?"

There we go. There were a few more photos, but nothing special.

I case this gets cut to bits, here's the link: Photobucket

Nice work. Looks good with yellow figs.

Thanks! I have to admit, I like yellow minifigs more than "fleshies". So I don't have any of the newer teachers or anything. While the proper skin tones are all right in TT games, yellow minifigs are the proper real Lego people.

I really enjoyed all the captions especially :)

(There was another one where Fred and George had been sent to Dumbledore for making too many Uranus-related jokes... But as we are all adults here, I thought it was a bit too childish )

Those are fun. I noticed baby Norbert in the hut. Also, I liked how you made the chimney smoke. And the captions were a hoot. Let's hope Gandalf finds his way into his own story.

Nice to see the "old" Harry Potter figures coming to life again.

Fine colourful scenes!
